wp-cli configuration in php?

Question

https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/config/#config-files is pretty good, but I'd like to have some more logic in my configuration. Is there a standard way for this?

For drush I have .drush/aliases.drushrc.php, which includes scripts from various Drupal repositories, which in turn contain the logic to handle various sites and variations (production, development). I'd like to have something similar for wp-cli, and YAML doesn't provide me with the right tools for what I want.

The WP CLI aliases are mostly for context. WP CLI uses Drush as a source of inspiration, but Drush has a much more robust implementation of aliases.

If it were me, I would include other scripts and complex logic as a custom command.

WP_CLI::add_command( 'core foo', 'Foo_Command' );
